Annual Conference – October 2018
Celebrating 10 Years of Being Here for You….
Each year Bromley Parent Voice hosts a free conference for parents/carers of disabled children and young people. The aim of the Conferences is to provide information to parent and carers of the range of services available statutory, voluntary and national organisations, together with a series of workshops designed to inform and empower parents.
The Celebrating 10 Years of Being Here for You Conference was held on Thursday 4th October at the Warren. Bromley Parent Voice has been improving the life outcomes of children and young people affected by disability and special educational needs for ten years. We looked back and showed what has been learnt from local families who received support from BPV. The London Borough of Bromley also attended and gave a presentation around SEND 4 Change. Bromley Parent Voice Parent/Carers made a contribution to SEND 4 Change project to help shape the future priorities for services in Bromley.
